for you?” my readers are asking. One of our Chinese brethren,
converted as we believed, and baptised some years ago—a young man
in some respects specially capable and specially pleasing, who
knows the way of life well, and can explain it clearly to his less
instructed countrymen, is found to have been gambling on (for
them) a large scale, and, at first, with rare success. Rumor has
it that not less than $3,000 had flowed from the depleted purses
of his countrymen into his own; but that blind to the fact that
the tide might turn, he had continued his sin until it left him
stranded and wrecked. Inquiry shows this rumor to be founded on
facts. We are made to blush at the congratulations the heathen
Chinese have been proffering over the good-luck of the gambling
Christian. We get the heart-ache as we see how sin breeds sin, how
falsehood and profanity follow in the train of these dishonest
gains. The heart-ache deepens as we see some others of our brethren
swept away by sympathy or friendship, or possibly by some less
amiable consideration into partial complicity with his wrong. It
transpires that with several others as with this brother, there has
been a forgetfulness of the assembling of themselves together, a
self-assertion and self-trust, a disposition to debate but not to
pray, a cooling of brotherly love and Christian zeal, all of which
fore-shadowed like dishonors to be heaped upon the name of Christ,
unless a breath of God’s dear spirit should soon inspire in them a
freshened life.
Thank God, these humblings have not come alone. If the great body
of our Chinese Christians had been insensible to them, if there
had been no movement, or if only a ripple on the surface of an
otherwise stagnant sentiment, I should have been discouraged
indeed. But there was an immediate movement, a deep sense of shame,
an almost too speedy discipline. And now, taking counsel together,
we have undertaken, with the help of God, to withstand more
faithfully those beginnings of evil; to make the first symptoms of
coldness and inattention and wandering the signal for more earnest
prayer and for kindly and cautious, but effective, watch and care.
In connection with this our schools in San Francisco propose to
undertake something more general and more generous in the way
of giving. Certainly the sum total of expenditures made by our
Chinese brethren, in connection with their Christian work, is
creditable already. When we consider their circumstances it is not
a little thing that in this last year their offerings, one way
and another, should reach a total of $2,000. But a scrutiny of
the sources from which this amount had come showed that in some
quarters the grace of giving had not been as generally cultivated
or as fruitful in results as it might have been. And a recovery of
lost ground in this regard, an advance beyond anything heretofore
attempted is fully resolved upon. Plans are being laid, the mutual
exhortations have begun, and it is believed that by the 1st of
December they will show us definite and practical returns. One of
the helpers writes me as follows: “Last night I have been spoken
to the scholars and brethren about the gifts of the money for
the missionary work and about the gas that you are going to put
up instead of the oil lamps. They were so pleased to help. I can
hardly know how to tell you how glad they feel to pay the gas and
water bills and to help you pay the rent. I was surprised that I
should receive a large sum of gifts last evening so soon as when
I get through my sayings, and I expect another sum this evening,
because great many have not any money with them last evening.” This
same good spirit seems to pervade all the schools and I am greatly
comforted by it.
Other encouragements are not wanting. Even now I am awaiting in
my study the arrival of five Chinese who, with the approval and
recommendation of our brethren, offer themselves as candidates for
baptism and reception to our Bethany Church. Scarcely a month has
passed without tidings of some one turning to the light and avowing
himself a disciple of Christ. But I have been made specially glad
this month by the news from two of our youngest and smallest
schools. Mrs. Willett, of Santa Cruz, reporting for the first time
two of her pupils as giving evidence of conversion, adds: “I am
very hopeful concerning the spiritual interests of four of my boys.
Eight of them already own and study the New Testament. I give them
Bible instruction two whole evenings each week, and they enjoy it.”
And Miss Fulton, of Berkeley says: “In reporting that two of the
pupils give evidence of conversion, I do not say that they have
confessed it by word; but they attend so regularly to school, and
to Sunday school, listen to all religious instruction so earnestly,
and join in the Lord’s Prayer so heartily, that I feel assured they
are earnestly seeking the truth.”
And so God has mingled encouragements with humblings, and not
suffered us to be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.

WASHEE WASHEE.
* * * * *
BY JOAQUIN MILLER.
* * * * *
Brown John he bends above his tub
In cellar, alley, anywhere
Where dirt is found, why John is there;
And rub and rub and rub and rub.
The hoodlum hisses in his ear:
“Git out of here, you yeller scrub!”
He is at work, he cannot hear;
He smiles that smile that knows no fear;
And rub and rub and rub and rub,
He calmly keeps on washing.
The politicians bawl and crow
To every idle chiv. and blood,
And hurl their two hands full of mud:
“The dirty Chinaman must go!”
But John still bends above his tub,
And rub and rub and rub and rub;
He wrestles in his snowy suds
These dirty politicians’ duds;
He calmly keeps on washing.
“Git out o’ here! ye haythin, git!
Me Frinch ancisthors fought an’ blid
Fur this same freedom, so they did,
An’ I’ll presarve it, ye can bit!
Phwat honest man can boss a town?
Or burn anither Pittsburgh down?
Or beg? Or sthrike? Or labor shirk
Phwile yez are here an’ want ter work?
Git out, I say! ye haythin git!”
And Silver Jimmy shied a brick
That should have made that heathen sick;
But John, he kept on washing.
Then mighty Congress shook with fear
At this queer, silent little man,
And cried as only Congress can:
“Stop washing and git out of here!”
The small brown man, he ceased to rub,
And raised his little shaven head
Above the steaming, sudsy tub,
And unto this great Congress said,
Straightforward, business-like, and true:
“Two bittee dozen washee _you_!”
Then calmly went on washing.
Oh! honest, faithful little John,
If you will lay aside your duds
And take a sea of soap and suds
And wash out dirty Washington;
If you will be the Hercules
To cleanse our stables clean of these
That all such follies fatten on,
There’s fifty million souls to-day
To bid you welcome, bid you stay
And calmly keep on washing.

THE LITTLE DINING-ROOM.
BY MRS. T. N. CHASE.
Often just before breakfast I hear a tripping step in our hall,
then a light tap at the door, and our little John exclaims, “You’re
’vited, mamma.” As I answer the knock, happy Hennie’s voice rings
out the welcome words, “You and Mr. Chase are invited to breakfast
in the little dining-room.” Now, as the “big dining-room” is filled
with about 150 students and teachers, and as board is eight dollars
per month, the little dining room offers the most quiet, to say
nothing of the superior variety and quality of the food.
Well, now, there has of late been rapidly growing what some of us
staid teachers think is an industrial craze. I suppose any day the
girls at the North may have to give up one of their studies for the
old-fashioned patchwork. Oh! I don’t mean _old_-fashioned. Isn’t
it funny that old-fashioned things are the newest-fashioned things?
I suppose, too, any day our grandmother’s beautiful samplers
may again take their æsthetic places in the schoolroom to teach
“marking stitch” from “sure enough” antique letters, and the boys
may march into a recitation room, where they will learn to drive
nails and shoe pegs. Well, this is a great question, and none but
a parent can be more interested than the faithful teacher that the
best methods should be used in developing their precious charge.
About two years ago the matron of Atlanta University selected two
little dormitory rooms that opened into each other, and turned them
into dining-room and kitchen. An old Stewart cook stove used in
the big kitchen long ago, before the range was a necessity, was a
large part of the little kitchen’s outfit. The clothes press was
easily changed to cupboard, and an old flower stand was made into a
tidy closet for pots and kettles. In the dining-room the floor was
stained in alternate strips of dark and light color; a fly screen
put in the window, a few pictures and a rough shelf covered with
a pretty lambrequin brightened the walls; and, best of all, while
this revolution was going on, an old friend happened to drop in,
on her way to Florida. She was so delighted with the matron’s idea
that she filled the China closet of the little dining-room with
such pretty things that the dainty tea table at once put on airs
in its new home. Well, in these two little rooms the two highest
classes of girls are honored with practice in household arts, with
the matron for their teacher. At first gatherings in the little
dining-room were quite rare. The birthdays of the senior class were
celebrated there, and guests sometimes entertained, but the girls
are so proud of their housekeeping that now they are allowed all
the practice they have time for. Absent graduates must remember the
room with pleasure, as they send beautiful bouquets for the table.
The senior girls take turns in being responsible for the breakfasts
and teas, and in presiding at table. In addition to the two girls
who preside, there is room for about a third of the teachers. So,
as we cannot all go, there can be no general invitations, but
each visit there has all the charm of a special invitation out to
breakfast or tea. But the best of it all is the encouragement it
gives the girls to practice the too often neglected art of good
cooking.
So now you see why we are proud of the little dining-room, and why
Hennie trips through the halls so merrily as she carries from door
to door the coveted invitation.
